Robin Crozier’s project Memo(random) / Memo(ry) is famous. He sent the empty sheets to participants with a memory from somebody else included in the envelope. The whole set went to the Getty in booklets form. All those memories are now in archives. On one of the blogs I saw a memory of 1990. I can go further back in history and found one from 1985. Actually also one from me, and one from Jean Brown. Jean Brown died years ago, and when I went through my collection of Robin’s memories I noticed I hade actually 3 boxes full. Must be over 250 of them which I collected since 1983. Robin told about his memory project in detail in the Interview I did with him. The booklet-version also included several visuals of them as well. I will scan a few and place them here.
I actually collect these memories. If you have any of them in your archive and don't know where to leave them, they are welcome to join my collection. What will happen with my collection: It will join a larger collection. Maybe we will find a way to put all those original memries together again in the Tate Modern Museum? Who knows.
